Guest Posted December 16, 2021 Share Posted December 16, 2021 He doesn't have a left foot so there's no balance, don't want to see this on Saturday. Hopefully Barisic is fit otherwise play Bassey at LB and bring Simpson (*shudders*) in at CB.

Hmm, not so sure to be quite honest. If we sell anyone in January for big money, I genuinely think I would not be too disappointed if it was Patterson. He is still miles behind Tav, will struggle to reach his potential whilst getting limited time with us. If we could bring in £10m from him without weakening our first team, then I think it would be a good result. beararse 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

He did alright but I wouldn’t want to see him at left back on a regular basis . Would rather see him get more time on the right , at the back preferably or in midfield as that’s his natural side . A very promising talent and would rather we could keep him than sell in January 🔴⚪️🔵 They Gnu 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

middli 1,579 Posted December 16, 2021 Share Posted December 16, 2021 I'd much rather play Patterson at LB accepting its far from ideal than have Simpson at the heart of our defence. There is a reason Bassey is playing ahead of him even though Simpson is allegedly a bona fide CB. Jamie0202 and falkirkNS 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Specky Forum Organiser 65,054 Posted December 16, 2021 Share Posted December 16, 2021 Full backs aren't overlapping anymore so don't think it's as big a deal him playing on the wrong side for one game Certainly better than playing Simpson hammer93, Laudrup1984 and They Gnu 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

A right footed left back kills the idea of a wing back on that side Unless our wingers play wide which would allow Patterson to cut inside and shoot on his stronger foot?? Would also mean he's tackling on his stronger foot when your opponents are cutting inside as well??? Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

A right footed left back kills the idea of a wing back on that side Gio isn't using them as wing backs in quite the same way Gerrard had it set up. Short of Gio registering as a player and going at left back himself, Patterson is the best option with what we have available at the minute.
